What did you expect a manager to do there?
Applaud Rashford for screwing a huge chance cause he goes for the brilliancy prize instead of simply netting it in?
He didn't even bring it on target ffs..

Klopp also shaked his head at Liverpool players and blamed them in public and AFAIK he's labeled as a supportive manager,

It’s not about Klopp it’s about the fact that it’s always everyone else’s fault and not his. But it’s all a big act cos he’s trained him and sent him out there. Did Rashford blaze over on purpose? Obviously not, as if it had hit the back of the net he wouldn’t be shaking his head!

Liverpool isn't very good. PSG isn't very good either.

This

Literakky every manager ever has shaken their head at something their player has done one time in their managerial careers.

It makes news cos Jose does it? Hes probably done it before. He'll probably do it again like every other manager.

Hes the centre of attention though cos he lives in the heads of people rent free who make him that centre of attention

I didn't watch their game yesterday but saw the goal and the bottle throwing crap. Thought nothing of it until everyone started mentioning it on here. Guess what I did? I shook my head in a "cant believe people are making a big thing out of this" way

As it stands

Spurs need to match Inters result on matchday 6 to go through

Spurs go to Nou Camp

Inter at home to PSV

Liverpool need to beat Napoli by 2 goals to go through

PSG go to Red star

On the plus side Spuds had a very hard 94 minutes with most of the 1st eleven playing ... we should be all over them on Sunday, Chelsea - Inter - Arsenal in a week, they will be knackered ...

On the down side Barca are through, they have a history of resting everyone in meaningless CL games .... last season against Sporting no Messi and several other regulars all rested ... fully expect the same thing this year ... Spurs v Barca B is highly probable ....

The stats show that in the final group games where Barcelona need a result, they get a win 77% of the time. However, where they don't need a result they average winning 57% of the time.
